I would have loved for Newt to win AL and MS.
That said, neither Newt nor Santorum is going to the convention with the 1144 bound delegates needed for a first ballot win.
The key at this point is to stop Romney. Tonight went a long way toward accomplishing that.
Folks asking either Santorum or Newt to bow out are making assumptions about where each of their voters would go. I don’t think all of the potential Newt voters would choose Santorum over Romney, nor would Santorum voters all choose Newt. Since neither Newt nor Santorum will get to 1144 they might as well both stay in and keep those delegates away from Romney.
Ditto. Best post and analysis on this thread.
Thanks. I try.
